Magic Hat’s Wacko!
I typically order a good variety of seasonal beers but this one definitely peaked my curiosity being brewed with beet extract and all. I actually sold through the first case in less then a week and didn’t even get to try one making it even more intriguing to me. So since I haven’t written a blog in a while I figured this would be a good pick!
The first thing you notice is the slight pinkish color, not quite as deep as a berry weis, but certainly noticeable. Nothing too crazy on the nose, but I’m also just getting over a cold so I’m sure that doesn’t help. I gave it a good swig, thankfully the beet isn’t over powering. In fact, the beet barley comes through except for a little bit on the finish. I was a little surprised considering Magic Hat’s #9 and H.IPA and others I have had, it makes sense though. Most summer seasonal are light easy drinking beers that you can put quite a few back in one sitting. I would say that is a pretty accurate description of the Wacko, but If you want to try it, stop in!
